Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This book is so terrible, I wanted to cry.
Review: The ending of this book is the most horribly predictable and melodramatic thing I've ever read. It was so disappointing, I almost threw the book away, even though the copy I read wasn't my own.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good book
Review: The plots are complicated and the author is able to connect them, well. I came across this book by chance but after I read the first few pages, there was no turning back, or putting down. In fact, my wife and I 'fought' for the book. The story is exciting, full of actions and mysteries. It makes the readers wanting to know the ending and it does it well, and everything is only revealed at the end, right down to the last 2 words. Well, I don't want to give the story away but I have one question. How could Von Holden carry something so important to the organisation in a box that could fall open when dropped on the floor?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: proof that anyone can write a best-seller
Review: God - where to begin? How in the world did this thing get published?!!? The prose is puerile, the plot preposterous (and predictable), and the characters cardboard. I can't recall ever having seen so much hype so terribly misdirected. Aside from being lousy fiction, he got his physics and biology all wrong, too. You've all heard the proposition about one million monkeys with one million type writers producing 'Hamlet' if given enough time? This thing wouldn't take a brain-damaged baboon more than 15 minutes with a dull pencil! I've heard a rumor that Mr. Folsom was paid a record amount for this crap. I'd say he should use the money to replace all the trees that were killed to print this on

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wonderful entertainment, great page-turner, solid value
Review: Loved it, felt sorry when it was over. Right up there withStephen King, Robert Parker, or John Grisham for sheer page-turning readability.Completely devoid of any redeeming value, just pure mind-Twinkies. Like Ian Fleming, Folsom projects an air of complete conviction in the ridiculous details of his adolescent fantasy world. Plenty of hidden doors, secret tunnels, and concealed video cameras. My favorite character is the bad guy who has deliberately had his legs amputated so he can disguise himself by altering his height after shooting somebody (snap off the long prostheses, snap on the short ones. I enjoyed the fact that _I_ was able to guess the ending _long_ before the hero does. Hint: it's not Elvis Presley that the ex-Nazis are trying to revive. (But I how could Von Holden carry a box "26 inches high by two feet square" in a rucksack?)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can't wait to read the next chapter .
Review: I'm a slow reader .I need to read books that really keep my attention.This was the best book I've read in along time.It had a fast and interesting story line , also a very good ending. When it's a good story like this you don't want it to end . .

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: absolutely impossible to put down
Review: There are many books which are reviewed with terms like "awesome" or "fantastic" but this book deserves those acolades and so many more. From the very first chapter you are drawn in by the events and characters of this book. The pace never lets up until the very,very last line of the book. You'll find many chapters where you'll have to stop reading so that you can catch your breath. The only,and I mean only drawback to this book is that even after its 900 plus pages have been completed you still crave more. I anxiously scan the web's book pages daily for word of Mr, Folsoms next endeavor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Intense
Review: Definitely one of the best thrillers ever. Allen Folsom's ability to put an ordinary man in an extraordinary situation is something not often seen. A lot of writers of the genre tend to make their main characters too invinsible. Bravo to The Day After Tomorrow!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book you can't put down.
Review: You know you are reading a good book when you glance at the clock and see that it's 2am and don't care that you have to get up for work in four hours. The Day After Tommorrow is one of those books. It is a myserious and fast-paced thriller that can stand up to the best works of Ludlum. This is a definite must-have for any political/espionage thriller lover.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ultimate Page Turner
Review: If you like non-stop action and intrigue and mystery this is one terrific book. I can't remember the last book I read that kept me as riveted.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Too Long A Read!
Review: I found this book to be long in getting to the point of the story.In the beginning Dr. Paul Osborn is in a Paris cafe and
sees the man who killed his father many years before.He finds
his real identity through the services of a private detective.The killer assassinates the detective.A Los Angeles homicide detective named McVey is in London trying to solve the
mystery of seven headless corpses.A stroke victim is escorted back to Germany from a recovery facility in Arizona.He is greeted
by the business establishment in Germany.Osborn has fallen into the company of the mistress of the French Prime Minister.All of
these factors meet and you discover a plot to bring the Nazis back to power.If you decide to read this book you will have to
be patient because it is long and drawn out.It takse forever to get to the point.
